There should be law forcing major players in the market to commit for 10 years + when they buy shares above a certain threshold and when those 10+ years pass they should be forced to justify. Might be dumb but just saying as things are the market/system will just rot on the daily. Shits corrupted to the core imo.
Comment on Update: Unity office death threat was made by a Unity employee
Dettweiler42@lemmyonline.com 1 year agoThis is the problem with the shareholder mentality that’s ruining a lot of products and services. They don’t give a damn about the longevity of the company. They only care about money now; and as soon as things go sour, they’ll sell their shares and move on to the next company.

IPOs usually come out with something like that, investors who commit to not sell their shares for half a year or maybe a year. After that… it’s each one for their own.

Taking your company public is like giving it cancer

I picture it as taking off in a plane full of your employees and customers, and climbing as high as possible. Then, as soon as the engines stall or fuel runs out, the execs casually jump out and pull the ripcords on their golden parachutes.
